## Overview

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

accel: ethosu: Ensure SRAM size is 0 on mapping failure

On a mapping failure of the SRAM, the SRAM size is left as non-zero. The
probe will succeed as the error return is not checked since having SRAM is
not a hard requirement. The non-zero size allows jobs to access SRAM which
is left pointing to physical base address 0x0.

## Remediation

Refer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.
